1999 treble winner Andrew Cole joins Paddy McGuinness and his old pals Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt for the latest episode of The Good, The Bad & The Football. He opens up about his record-breaking transfer to Old Trafford from Newcastle to United, explains his fallout with Kevin Keegan and recalls his very first chat with Sir Alex Ferguson. The episode also delivers behind-the-scenes stories: which United legend doubted the Cole-Yorke partnership would work? What happened when Nicky and Coley got caught out in Manchester the night before a game, and who was the worst at the brutal long runs in training? Plus, there are tales from United’s infamous 1999 Australia tour, including the identity of the player who fell asleep mid-training session, we get the truth behind why he didn’t go hang-gliding in Rio with Nicky and Roy Keane, and we discover which United player's party trick involved carrying a tray of shots on his head for the squad. Andrew also reflects on whether he’d thrive in today’s game, explains why he never took penalties, gives his thoughts on the struggles of Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak at Arsenal and Liverpool respectively and reveals which modern forward he rates the highest. 🚨 EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/goodbadfootball Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee If you want to ask the guys anything about football email them at: [email protected].
